Annual Report on UN Women's work, Peace and Security
WORLD: UN WOMEN
2023
United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women), 12. April 2023.
«Reports of sexual violence are increasing in the ongoing war in Ukraine. Millions of civilians, mostly women, children and older persons, have fled their homes. In Afghanistan, women’s rights have been deconstructed by the Taliban and women are painfully absent from public spaces. Across the world, the climate emergency continues to destabilize communities. While there is progress in some countries, in many others, women’s rights are being undermined. Cumulatively, this is posing unprecedented challenges to global peace and security. These are challenges that the WPS agenda is uniquely suited to solve. Women peacebuilders are meeting these challenges head on. Despite a lack of funding and other support and, in many cases, at great personal risk, they continue to mobilize constituencies for peace, hold decision-makers accountable, mediate conflict and successfully stand up for human rights.»
